Car Setup for A1 Motor Park
Get the most from your car on track
A1 Motor Park's 3.91 km layout with 15 turns demands a balanced setup — fast enough for the straight sections, stable enough for the technical corners. Here's what to focus on.
Tyre Pressures
| Cold | Hot | |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 32 PSI | 35–36 PSI |
| Rear | 30 PSI | 33–34 PSI |
Add 2-3 PSI to your normal road pressure as a starting point. Adjust based on tyre temperatures.
Brakes
- →Flush brake fluid before track use (use DOT 4 minimum)
- →Allow brakes to cool between sessions
- →Check pad thickness after each session
- →Brake bias: keep neutral for first sessions
- →Learn the main braking zones at A1: Turn 1, Turn 7, Turn 12
Suspension
- →Lower the car if possible (10-15mm from road height)
- →Stiffen dampers if adjustable — track is smooth and well surfaced
- →Check wheel alignment — slight negative camber helps cornering
- →Anti-roll bars: slightly stiffer front helps turn-in
